Answer:
The slope of the line is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Great question, it is always good to ask away and get rid of any doubts that you may be having.
I have created an illustration which is attached below in order to help you understand the situation. As we are told the passenger rode the subway from point (0 , 0) to point (-2, 0). Then he rode the subway from point (-2, 0) to the final destination of point (-2 , -10). In order to find the value of the slope we need to use the slope formula which is
[tex]Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }[/tex]
Now we just plug in the values of the starting point and final destination in order to find the slope of the line.
[tex]Slope = \frac{(-10) - (0)}{(-2)-(0)}[/tex]
[tex]Slope = \frac{-10}{-2}[/tex]
[tex]Slope =5[/tex]
Finally we can see that the slope of the line is 5
